The Farmhouse Hotel

The family has owned this 15th-century farmhouse for three generations. Beams, stone floors and granite are reminders of the property's antiquity, superimposed today with a clean-cut contemporary look. The restaurant is in the oldest part of the building, and eating outside is an attractive proposition during the balmy months. Twice-baked leek and parmesan soufflé with lemon butter sauce and red onion marmalade is a typical opener, followed by game in winter - perhaps a duo of venison comprising pan-seared loin and ragout of haunch with braised red cabbage and herby mashed potato. Go for a finale of dark chocolate and Kirsch cake with Chantilly cream.
